Very valid question.
The gui desktop becomes unresponsive.
But strangely enough if I have say 2 gnome terminals open
in a workspace, then I am indeed able to issue commands
in the gnome-terminal that is not running yum update.
Thus I will set up 4 gnome terminals on a desktop workspace.
1 will run yum, 2 will run top, 3 will run iotop
and in 4 I will issue the command
 /usr/bin/gnome-screenshot
